Objective: To observe the effects of the "Zhibian" (BL54)-toward-"Shuidao" (ST28) acupuncture on key regulatory factors during mitochondrial apoptosis of testicular tissue in asthenozoospermia mice, and explore the potential mechanism of the protective effect of acupuncture on reproductive function.
Methods: Thirty C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group and an acupuncture group, 10 mice in each group. In the model and the acupuncture groups, the intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (30 mg•kg•d) was delivered for 7 days to prepare the asthenozoospermia model.

The clinical diagnosis and treatment of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) that invade the cavernous sinus are fraught with difficulties and challenges. Exploring the biological characteristics involved in the occurrence and development of PitNETs that invade the cavernous sinus will help to elucidate the mechanism of cavernous sinus invasion. There are differences between intrasellar tumors (IST) and cavernous sinus-invasion tumors (CST) in ultramicrostructure, tumor microenvironment (TME), gene expression, and signaling pathways.

Objectives: To evaluate the lipolysis effect of air cooling assisted long-pulsed 1064 laser for improving local adiposity.
Materials And Methods: The second-level (pulse duration of 0.3-60 s) long-pulsed Nd:YAG 1064 nm laser (LP1064 nm) with or without forced-air cooling was used to irradiate ex-vivo subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) of pig or human and in-vivo inguinal fat tissue of Sprague Dawley rats.
The most unique characteristic of is persistence in the human host, and the biofilm formation is related to the persistance. Polyphosphate (polyP) kinase 1 (PPK1) is conserved in and is responsible for polyP synthesis. polyP is a chain molecule linked by high-energy phosphate bonds, which is considered to play a very important role in bacterial persistence.

Purpose: Radiation enteritis (RE) is the most common complication of pelvic radiation therapy, but proven therapies are lacking. Barrier function defects are closely associated with numerous inflammatory disorders. In this study, we investigated whether barrier dysfunction contributes to RE and whether syndecan-1 (Sdc1) protects intestinal barrier function in RE.
